Who we are looking for

While past experience with PPC search marketing topics for a news or content marketing department is a plus, we know that any hard-charging reporter who knows the craft can learn a new beat, so it’s not a prerequisite. Instead, the perfect candidate is someone who:

• Is a hard-charging reporter with a passion for breaking news and engaging a readership
• Is endlessly curious about our subject matter.
• Knows how to cultivate a large body of reliable authoritative sources.
• Empathizes with our audience’s challenges.
• Is a strong writer who holds the clarity and impact of a piece above flowery language, Oxford commas and whether it follows AP style, etc.
• Is confident on stage or leading a video-based discussion.
• Has at least 5 years experience at a digital news outfit, newspaper, B2B media brand or in-house content marketing department.
